2003 Honda Accord EX 4dr Sedan w/Leather (2.4L 4cyl 5A)
0 of 0 people found this review helpful
Black leather-nice; Heated seats- wonderful; dual-zone A/C controls- great; Stereo design and controls- great; Stereo sound-good; 4-cylinder gas mileage-best in class; 4-cylinder power-adequate and better than expected; Seat comfort-very good; Headroom-add .5 inch in front and 1 inch in back; Handling-very good though doesn't take potholes like my Q45; Brakes-feel good; Body style-it's growing on me; Warranty-inferior to competitors; Dealers (I visited three)- unimpressive. Overall, if this car ages well then it's likely the best combination of comfort, features, performance, room, and efficiency around. So far, so good.

We have had Hondas in the past, and our 2003 Accord more that meets our expectations concerning Honda quality and styling. The ride is smooth and quiet, and unlike most other cars we have owned, the accord is quite fun to drive. Honda has outdone themselves when it comes to the styling of the 2003 Accord, as it is a tremendous improvement and sets the standards for the industry.

The vehicles drives great. The glove compartment and doors are hard to close. Had to bring it back more than once and still having a issue. Had a leak in the engine and Honda refuse to take it back when the car is less than one month old. Well this is my second purchse with Honda and also the last. Customer service said once you sign the papers the consumer assumes all respondibity and problems with the car.

2003 Honda Accord EX V-6 2dr Coupe (3.0L 6cyl 6M)
0 of 0 people found this review helpful
Ive owned the '03 accord coupe 6 speed for about three months now, and would not trade it for the world. I love its torque driven 240hp v-6. The suspension with 4 point upper strut bars and lower anti-roll bars help this sled rocket though corners as if it were glued to the pavement. The 6 speed close ratio tranny can elevate you to new levels excitement (and G-forces). The 17in. wheels and 215/50 michelin rubbers definately help the mean stance the front end of the accord holds. With the help of it TCS, the accord has no worries about wet traction either, I can barely get it to break loose in even a down pour.

We love this car! This car is the best value for a family sedan in this price range. Whether it's the peppy and quiet 4 cylinder, smooth and firm suspension, or the terrific cabin ergonimics and feel, there's not much to dislike. The only things the competition has over this car are slightly larger size and more options available on the 4 cylinder models.

I had in mind I'd buy a Camry, Chrysler, or Honda. I bought the Honda after driving all three. The 240 HP makes it pretty fun. I also bought the Honda because I hate rattles. Quiet performance! Unfortunately, I have some rattles in the interior which are driving me crazy! (no pun intended) I plan to get them fixed, but I'm a bit disappointed.

This 2003 Accord is our 8th Accord in the last 19 years. The 2003 is the best yet. Best looking, best riding, the 160 HP enging is powerful and economical. Can't find anything wrong with it.

The car has not disappointed. It has brisk acceleration, fresh looks and a roomy interior. The car is reliable and gets surpising gas mileage for the horsepower. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun, reliable family car.

There is nothing not to like about this car! We drove 300 miles the first day on two lane roads, through hills, etc. It handles very, very well. The steering is tight be you don't easily oversteer the way you do with a Civic. It is fun to to drive, has an amazing amount of power, handles very well, and is smooth and comfortable. The 5 speed auto trans. is very efficient. When you pass someone and need to accelerate, this car delivers! The v-tech engine pulls stronger and stronger.

Just got our white V6 with tan leather and Navigation. This is our 4th honda accord and it truly does not feel like you are driving just another accord. The handling and performance are very solid and the ride is extremely smooth. Navigation: At first, we thought..."Do we really need a electronic map?" Well, the map is just a small part of the system. Some features we really like are: searching for places like yellow pages, searching for places by phone number, trip computer, address book, voice activated commands like "show ATMs, find nearest restaurant, etc." The touchscreen also controls everything else like the radio, climate control and cd player.

This is our 4th Honda that we have used daily over the past 21 years. It is easier to maintain and operate than any of the other vehicles we have owned. During our 21 years of Honda ownership we have always had a second car which was never a Honda so we have had something to compare our Accords to. This is the first LX we have owned---I did enjoy the EX's more!

I am very happy with my Accord. Although not as sporty as the higher cost BMWs or Infiniti G35, it is well worth the money. The interior design is excellent, the exterior is conventional but still looks good. I like the acceleration and handling, and appreciate the smoothness of the ride as a I have a significant commute. I am a Honda fan, and this new version of the Accord is a good one!

Amazing pickup, stylish and simple interior, very firm seats, wonderful handling. But much too bumpy and jiggly on the highway. This drawback alone almost outweighs all the amazing qualities. And the exterior is downright dowdy, a cross between a pontiac grand prix and a buick. that's not a compliment.

I am very pleased with the new accord for 03. The style is a great change. I did a lot of research and found the accord to excel in all areas. It have a very quiet comfortable ride. the dash design is very nice and easy to use. I was able to get a great deal. I paid 23,984.00 pluse tax. It has a sticker price of 26, 200.00 plus I had the splash gaurds added.

The gas milage is great. I just took a 8143 mile trip to Calgary Canada total average milage was 28.+ and that is from a 240 hp car. the traney could be better for a 6 stik. it was comfortable and has great looks. I had to pay a premeium for the car. I love this car but it is up for sale as I want to buy a 2004 coupe 6stick with sat nav

My wife and I bought this car a month ago and we love it. We got the V-6 and it has great performance. Everyone knows about the cars reliability and resale value, but I was blown away by the ergonomics and the interior features it had. Everything was in the perfect spot. From the cupholders to the telescoping tilt wheel, the Accord is a very well engineered vehicle.

I bought the car new and the only probably I have had is the Engine light came on and it was a sensor. The dealer charged $385 to fix. Just replaced the tires at 58,000 miles. The V-6 is powerful. I rented a car at the airport recently and it was 2010. Basic and when I got back in my Accord I felt that I was driving pure luxury. This is my 5th Accord

Only problem is I have been back to dealer 3x for the annoying problem of center console door problem. once closed it will not open (where I have CD's that I can't get to)and I have to go back again because it STILL isn't fixed they obviously never test it prior to giving it back to me. Otherwise dealer is responsive to my needs
Great car. stiff (jittery) ride.

My previous car was a (great) 94 Accord LX 4 cylinder with auto transmission. My new 2003 (4 cylinder, LX, auto) has a much stiffer ride. Small bumps are felt. MSRP (with side air bags) was about $20,700. Invoice was about $18,700. I bought it for exactly $18,000 (+ $139 dealer conveyance fee + state sales tax). I drove a 2003 Camry for 2 weeks (rental) and if you want a smoother ride, I'd recommend the Camry. I must add that I am VERY please with my new Accord!

We spent 3 months looking and driving everything out there. My wife wanted the Acura TL S-type 3.2, but we are so glad we waited for the V6 EX and it feels bigger inside, handles great and is so solid. Test Drive this car last, compare all the extra features for the price and you will be glad you did.

This is the best car we have ever owned. I was invited to drive the new BMW's at the Greer s.c. plant in February 2003. Altough the BMW's were great cars I am more impressed with my Honda. I only wish they made a police package.

I really like the car. The only problem I can see is the fact that the instrument panel lights are too bright in the daylight. If you dim them, then you have to readjust whenever you use the headlights because the panel lights automatically dim. But the car is fun to drive and very comfortable on long trips. It have enough power to past in traffic and it's relatively quiet at highway speeds. I would highly recommend the Accord if your looking to only spend $20k.

This is my fourth Hond Accord. I've been happy with the previous three Accords but this 2003 is a big step up in overall quality. Very quiet and a much better ride. How does Honda make a better car for the same money as a 2002? You need to pay close attention here Ford and GM.

I never thought I would like the Honda Accord. My wife always wanted one. I was a Volvo lover and have owned three of them in the past, but after test driving the 2003 4 door Accord, that was it. I was convinced on getting rid of our 99 Volvo S80 for a new Honda. Purchased one at Honda of Mckinney and the people there are great. A+ in my book. Can't say enough about the car. It is truly a fun car to drive. Only problem we found was a piece of trim molding on the right hand threshold of the door frame popped up. Dealer said to bring it in and they will fix it. Good buy Volvo, Honda here to stay.

HAS ONLY 3500 MILES AND CABLE TO OPEN FUEL DOOR FAILED. HAD TO TAKE THE PANELS OUT OF THE TRUNCK TO GET TO REMOVE CABLE. ENGINEERS NOT SMART ENOUGH TO PUT AN EMERGENCY PULL CABLE IN TRUNK LIKE MOST OTHER CARS. BOUGHT THIS CAR TO HOPEFULLY GET BETTER MILEAGE. BEST I HAVE GOTTEN IS 19.8/MI/GAL. GOT 23 T0 25 ON MY LINCOLN TOWN CAR. HONDA IS TOO NOISY ON THE HIGHWAY - WIND & ROAD NOISE MAKES IT HARD TO HEAR RADIO. I AM TRYING TO TRADE IT FOR A 2003 LINCOLN RIGHT NOW.

This is our fourth Honda, previously owned 1970, 1988, 1999 and now 2003. In 1991 we bought an Acura Legend. I am surprised how similar in many respects the Accord is to the Legend. Interior dimensions are almost identical, the ride is very similar, but I think the interior design and quality is perhaps better. We were going to hold out for a V-6 with Navigation, but they were hard to come by, so we test drove the EX 4 Cylinder. For a retired couple the power is more than sufficient and the new 5-speed automatic transmission is silky-smooth.

Overall, a quality car for the price. This is my third Honda, and all 3 have had great resales, I expect this to be the same. Most people that see it ask what kind of make, they can't believe its a Honda. Only issue so far is a sulfur smell after short trips; dealer says it's due to brand of gas??

I purchased an EXV6 coming out of an Audi A6 lease. I'm amazed at the quality, ease of control, general comfort and feature list. It is not the driver's car that the A6 is, nor does it pretend to compete at that level, but for $12,000 LESS than the Audi...? I am VERY happy with this car and won't miss the oh-so-familiar Audi service department one bit.

I just bought this car two days ago!! I can't believe how it drives. We feel very safe in the car. I am glad I bought it. We looked at the civic, but for only $48 more a month we got the accord. The interest rates are the best. At 2.9%, my payments were low and all I put down was $500. It is roomier than the last year's styles. We had a 93 accord for 8 years and it never failed. Go for it. Honda's don't die.

After my experience with my 1992 Honda Accord I knew my replacement had to be a new Accord. I have a 2003 Accord EX V6 coupe. It is fun to drive, I have gotten many positive comments from strangers at gas stations about the design of the car. The car is fun, it feels safe, reliable, it's a Honda. Average 28mpg average driving, as high as 31mpg all highway driving.
Love the NEW Design!

I LOVE THIS VEHICULE, but put more features to it and you will see the improvement on the sales. For a better Accord: Standard Fog Lights Day Lights, Standard V6 or more HP and TQ on the 4 Cyl; Make a V Spec engine if is not patented by Nissan, Entry System with Auto StartA Better Warranty....3yrs or 36,000 miles is not good enough for the quality of this car...Remember if you are sure of the Quality of this vehicule you should make a better Warranty on it.

Honda has done it again with their Accord line. For 2003 the new accord's comfort is unmatched for the price your getting it for. Having experience with a 2002 camry too, although the camry may Look better on the Outside, but never judge a car by its hood!, its whats under the hood and whats in the car(interior kicks A$$) and has more luxury features and more options to customize, the accord is more on the conserviative side and priced and built only with highest quality in mind, still manage to blance out with conserving and FUN to drive:-D
